Revlon Colorstay Concealer Review, Swatches and Demo
By Contributor: Agnirupa
Its still chilly and dry here in Kolkata and much as I love my MAC studio finish concealer for the best and opaque coverage it does tend to get a tad difficult to warm up between fingers and blend during these few months and while I avoid liquid concealers all the year round like a contagious disease thanks to my greasy face, I seem to be gravitating towards them this winter. What else could explain my trying out the teeny lakme concealer
for 900 INR. So when I saw Revlon launch a bigger version in India at a lesser price I had to bring it home! The S.A recommended the shade light-medium which I will review and swatch today.
Revlon Claims: Our latest ColorStay concealer with new time release technology balances imperfections for a continuously flawless look, for up to 24 hours.
– Covers imperfections – Conceals blemishes and dark circles
– Full yet undetectable coverage
Available in 2 shades only– light-medium and medium-deep. *drat!*
Revlon ColorStay Concealer 03 Light Medium: Review, Swatches and Demo
Revlon tries to keep it smarter than Lakme by trying to keep both sides of the game. How else could you explain the shade light-medium? And cummon only 2 shades! *eye roll* this shade is for very light to light complexions and sadly just like Lakme has a yellow undertone which fails to do much for me. Even if it does conceal better it gives me yellow spots grrrr…
The coverage is medium-buildable (yes I am talking in Revlon lingo lol) but ya its just about ok but can be built up to a decent coverage. The shade is too pale for under eyes of course (guess the other shade still might work) but it does conceal a few zits or blemishes on my face.
The texture is medium thick, creamy but not at all greasy (of course I might not have felt it cause the weather itself is sucking moisture) and is quite easy to apply and blend and requires a tiny amount for each application. Staying power is not an issue at all and plus in this weather it lasts the whole day till removed and does not oxidize.
The Revlon colorstay concealer comes in a regular concealer packaging with a very nice spongy applicator which is easy to carry around and apply but also means a bit unhygienic so its better to smear them on your hand and dab with fingers.
Revlon ColorStay Concealer 03 Light Medium: Review, Swatches and Demo
Sleek tube like packaging with a very nice soft spongy applicator
Texture is smooth, creamy and easily blendable.
Coverage is decent enough and can be built up to an extent
Staying power is great and does not budge till removed.
A tiny amount is required making it economical for its price.
The cons of Revlon ColorStay Concealer:
Narrow and foolish shade range with yellow undertone only. What are the people with pink undertones supposed to do Revlon?
Price: Rs.725 (quite reasonable compared to lakme’s crazy stupid pricing)
VNA Rating: 3.5/5
Do I recommend? Revlon ColorStay Concealer 03 Light Medium is economically, texturally great actually, blends really well too and has a good enough coverage but their shade range fails miserably for me as I am a NW 25-30 in MAC and of course have a pink undertone and this yellow concealer gives me jaundice spots on skin :x but does not work for me is no reason why you should not try ! its one of the good ones in the drugstore range! As for me MAC is still my go-to concealer and Clinique rapidly becoming a favorite.
Till my next post do miss me everyone and keep loving my reviews. Loads of love for you all. Muuahhs!
Nicely reviewed! But for daily wear, I find it a bit costly! Right now I’m using this one called The One Illuskin Concealer from latest launched range of Oriflame and I’m simply loving it! I use it to work and I love to wear it daily. I’ve not faced any cakeyness or creasing issues with it. It lasts for around 6-8 hours on me without using a powder on top.
Definitely believe that which you said. Your favourite justification seemed to be at the net the simplest factor to take note of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed at the same time as folks think about concerns that they just don’t recognize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thank you
I do believe all of the ideas you’ve offered for your post. They’re really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for beginners. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thank you for the post.
Great – I should definitely pronounce, impressed with your web site. I had no trouble navigating through all tabs and related information ended up being truly simple to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it at all. Reasonably unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or anything, site theme . a tones way for your customer to communicate. Nice task.
Thank you for sharing excellent informations. Your web-site is so cool. I am impressed by the details that you have on this blog. It reveals how nicely you understand this subject. Bookmarked this website page, will come back for more articles. You, my pal, ROCK! I found simply the information I already searched all over the place and just could not come across. What a great web-site.
Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for another fantastic post. Where else could anybody get that type of information in such a perfect way of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such info.
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Appreciate it!
So it’s wise to established yourself a limit. Most people have one or two buddies who are unreliable. A white label sites with an expense of USD $ ten,000 to $ 60,000 can be began with.

This review is such good news! Covers zits and blemishes? Perfect! Thanks. :)
Heehee its nyc dat someone’s criteria s satisfied :D
We have really less shades in India, even lakme has less shades.
I had a tough time choosing between this and maybelline fit me and bought none! I have ruled this one out now.
I find the colour range rather limited. Not much options for dusky skin tones.
Good one !
Nicely reviewed dear.. N it’s definitely a good piece..
